At dawn the next day, Su Yi was woken up by the rapid ringing of the phone.
His subordinates reported that last night Zhe Peng soldiers arrested people in the Japanese Concession overnight and arrested more than 300 families living in the Japanese Concession.
Although these Lipas live in the Japanese Concession, they work in the industry under Su Yi and do not belong to the Three Tonghui.
The Zhepeng people had no intention of covering up the matter and arrested people openly.
The lieutenant who led the team also accepted an interview with reporters on the spot, stating that the arrest operation was to destroy the anti-Japanese organizations lurking in the Japanese concession.
Facing reporters' questions, he also cited the "Songhu Armistice and Japanese Troops Withdrawal Agreement" signed by Guofu and Zhepeng at the beginning of the year, claiming that the agreement clearly stipulated that Jinling had the responsibility to ban anti-Japanese organizations and activities nationwide, while
According to the "Consular Jurisdiction", Zhe Pengfang also had the right to arrest and execute "illegal anti-Japanese" elements in the Japanese concession.
"These anti-Japanese elements are all porters. On the surface, they belong to an organization called the Tianjin Transportation Industry Association. Behind the scenes, they are probably all underground parties." Lieutenant Zhe Peng introduced, "Next, we will identify their identities one by one.
, I hope that the person in charge of this organization will come to Haiguang Temple Barracks as soon as possible to cooperate with our investigation, help us complete the screening, and clarify that this organization is not an illegal anti-Japanese organization."
"I heard that you arrested more than 300 porters. I would like to ask, are all these people anti-Japanese elements? Do you have any evidence?" the reporter asked.
"Maybe, maybe not entirely. You know, the anti-Japanese elements are very cunning. We don't need evidence. We need them to prove themselves, or someone can prove their innocence. This requires the person in charge of the organization to come in person.
He can provide guarantees and bail for employees he believes are innocent. If he fails to do so, we can only treat these suspicious elements with the most stringent screening methods."
Lieutenant Zhe Peng's words were published intact in major newspapers of the day, so everyone in Jinmen knew that Geng Liangchen, the hero of Jinmen, was in trouble again!
No one is a fool, everyone can see that the Zhepeng people are using this method to trap Geng Liangchen again to avenge Zhang Jingyao's murder.
But the Zhepeng people treacherously found a "legal and reasonable" excuse for their despicable behavior, forcing Geng Liangchen to surrender.
The Zhepeng people not only publicized this matter in the newspapers, but also secretly spread the news, saying that as long as Geng Liangchen went to the Japanese Concession, nothing would happen to the more than 300 Liba, and the sooner the better.
On the other hand, if Geng Liangchen did not dare to go to the Japanese Concession, these Liba people would all die because of his cowardice and cowardice.
This gossip spread even louder than the news published in the newspapers, and the Zhepeng people made it clear that they wanted to threaten Su Yi with the lives of more than 300 Liba.
This is a conspiracy!
"Master Geng, the little Japs have even driven all the families of the captured brothers out of the Japanese Concession. I just saw it. There are nearly a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people, old and young, strutting through the city and heading straight to your house.
Got it!" His subordinate said anxiously on the phone.
"The little devils are evil-minded. They must have deliberately led them! Otherwise, how would these people know where you live? Master Geng, what should we do now? How about...you hide first? At least don't let these people block your home.
!I saw that there were many reporters who went with these people."
"I understand." Su Yi only replied four words and hung up the phone.
As soon as I put the phone down, it rang again.
Su Yi picked up the call, but this time it was Liu Haiqing calling.
"I heard what happened, you must not go to the Japanese Concession!" Liu Haiqing said straight to the point, "You are in the French Concession, and there are people with guns. They don't dare to mess around in the French Concession. They just can't do anything to you, so they force you.
You surrendered yourself to the trap! As long as you go, you will die!"
"What should we do with more than three hundred lives?" Su Yi asked softly.
"Nothing to do! Pretend not to know!" Liu Haiqing said, "I'll go back to Jinmen right away. I'll be there at noon. Let's take this matter into consideration when I get here."
"Xiao Geng, you have to know that if you compromise today, even if you are lucky enough to survive, in the future, if the Zhe Peng people know your pulse, they can arrest people at will and threaten you. Are you going to submit every time?"
"Listen to me. Although the actions of the Zhepeng people are despicable, it also shows that they really have no way to do anything to you. As long as you don't go to the Japanese Concession, they still have no way to do anything to you!
"
"What if they kill people?" Su Yi asked, "If I don't go, they will kill people. Now all the families of more than 300 people have come to me. If they kneel down in a big group to beg me, will I ignore it?
?”
"I have always told my subordinates that I will protect them and not let them be bullied. Now they are not only being bullied, but they are also going to be killed and I don't care. Am I not being true to my word and being extremely hypocritical? From now on.
Everyone can poke my spine, how can I convince everyone?"
Liu Haiqing on the other end of the phone was speechless for a long time. This was an unsolvable problem and also the most vicious intention of the Zhepeng people.
Su Yi will either die or his character will collapse and his reputation will be ruined.
"I'll contact Jinling again. Haven't you had a lot of contact with foreigners recently? You can also call and beg foreigners..." Liu Haiqing came up with an idea.
"It's useless, don't waste your efforts." Su Yi sighed, "How can foreigners compete with the Zhepeng people just because of the lives of hundreds of low-level Liba people? I don't have that much face, so I can let them fight for me and Zhepeng.
Peng people face each other."
"Also, don't contact Jinling. There is a lawsuit over there and they are fighting. Do you think they will care about the lives of hundreds of people in Jinling? What's more, the Zhepeng people also used to seize the ground.
The Party’s excuse gives Jinling more reason to pretend to be deaf and dumb.”
"Not to mention Jinling, Commander Yu can only verbally condemn him at most. He can only rely on himself in this matter."
Liu Haiqing knew that Su Yi was telling the truth. Bigger and more serious things happened in this country every day, with more than 300 Lipas being arrested. Except for Su Yi, who was closely related to each other, no one would really care about this matter.
.
"Do you know who came up with this wicked idea?" Su Yi asked.
"Don't mess around!" Liu Haiqing suddenly became alert, "Xiao Geng, killing people will not solve the problem this time. It will only make the problem more serious and out of control."
"Do you have any prejudice against me?" Su Yi couldn't help but frown, "I just want to know who my opponent is."
"In short, don't mess around. No matter how secretive you are, everyone is not a fool. As long as you take action, the French people will not dare to let you stay in the French Concession anymore." Liu Haiqing warned.
"I know." Su Yi said.
"North China Garrison Commander Kotaro Nakamura returned from Zhepeng three days ago and just arrived in Tianjin," Liu Haiqing said. "There is also a person named Matsumuro Xiaoliang. This person's previous apparent identity was the counselor of Zhepeng's embassy in Peiping.
In fact, he is a leader of Zhe Peng's Peking secret service. This man left Peking yesterday and went to Tianjin. As far as I know, he shoulders the important task of investigating the Jinling incident."
Matsumuro Takaharu...this is an old friend.
Su Yi was a little surprised: "Are you so well-informed now?"
"I have basically taken over all the intelligence networks in the Pingjin area." Liu Hai said calmly, "otherwise, what do you think I have been busy with?"
"Xiao Geng, please don't go to the Japanese Concession. Maintain the situation and wait for me to come back!" Liu Haiqing finally warned.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yi sat in the room in silence for a long time, thinking about the upcoming situation.
For Su Yi, the situation is far more serious than Liu Haiqing and the others imagined.
First of all, there is Matsushiro Xiaoliang. Su Yi killed Zhang Jingyao under his nose. He is also the person who talked face to face with "Ryuchuan Feihara". If this person sees Su Yi again, he will most likely kill Su Yi.
recognize.
After all, this person is a spy himself, and his observation of details must be more keen than ordinary people. And no matter how good Su Yi's makeup skills are, there are some things that cannot be changed, such as his eyes and his inner temperament.
Now the Zhepeng people are more suspicious that Su Yi, the Jinmen hero, was introduced by Jinling to take the blame to attract firepower, and they only dealt with him based on the principle of preferring to kill the wrongdoer. But once Matsuro Takaliang recognized Su Yi, he really
If Su Yi is killed, it will be Longchuan Feiyuan, and the Zhepeng people will kill Su Yi completely. They will not give up until Su Yi is killed.
Secondly, Su Yi has a task and he has to complete it.
The name of the mission in the third act is "The Threat of Japanese Pirates", and the mission prompt is "The Zhepeng people will not give up." This seems to be an open mission, and it depends on how Su Yi chooses.
If Su Yi makes the wrong choice, the ending will definitely not be wonderful.
Again, if Su Yi behaves like a coward this time, his "Xiao Mengchang" persona will collapse. How serious the consequences of the collapse of his persona will be. If others don't know, how can Su Yi still not know?
This is bound to bring about a series of chain reactions. His subordinates are disloyal and it is a trivial matter to be disappointed with him. The Zhepeng people will definitely not miss the opportunity to further discredit him. They will not turn the name Geng Liangchen into a stinky shit. The Zhepeng people will not let him go.
Never give up.
When that time comes, the notorious Su Yi's dream of becoming a grandmaster will definitely be ruined, and Gong Baosen, whom he just convinced, will definitely doubt him again.
Therefore, this crisis must not be a coward. Su Yi needs to face it proactively and find the key to break the situation.
You absolutely cannot go to the Japanese Concession, otherwise it will really be a dead end.
There are more than 300 Liba who must not be left alone, otherwise the character will collapse and they will die.
It is also necessary to avoid meeting Takaharu Matsushita. It is best to prevent this person from ever seeing him and to use his own assassin account.
But we can't kill Matsushiro Xiaoliang casually, otherwise at this juncture everyone will guess that it was Su Yi who did it. At that time, the Zhepeng people will probably rush directly to the French Concession to arrest people, and the French people will even cooperate with him.
Hand over Su Yi who is causing trouble.
He also had to rescue more than 300 Liba as much as possible without going to the Japanese Concession; he also had to prevent Matsumuro Takaharu from being seen by him for the rest of his life without killing him; and he also had to maintain his own personality.
In this case, save your own life...
This extremely disgusting situation really gave Su Yi the urge to give up and leave.
Anyone who likes to do this mentally retarded task like Mader can do it!
Taking a deep breath, Su Yi gathered his emotions and began to think further.
Negative emotions can be vented, but they cannot ferment. Returning to rational thinking as soon as possible is the right path.
Soon, he picked up the phone and started making arrangements...
The Zhe Peng people obviously wanted to deliberately release the news, use public opinion and morality to kidnap Su Yi, and force Su Yi to go to the Japanese Concession, so the news spread quickly. Zheng Shanao and Gong Baosen, who were having breakfast, also got the news.
Somewhat shocked by the development of the situation.
"Despicable and shameless!" Zheng Shanao was worried. "Yesterday, they tried to kidnap Master Chen and threatened Liangchen. After failing, they immediately made such a show today! They are forcing Liangchen to die! If he doesn't die, his reputation will be ruined.
!”
Gong Baosen was a little lost in thought.
Since yesterday, he has fallen into a daze from time to time.
"Senior Brother Zheng, do you think Geng Liangchen will submit?" Gong Er couldn't help but asked curiously.
Zheng Shanao shook his head: "I don't know what he will do, but as long as he goes to the Japanese Concession, he will definitely be dead."
"No, I have to call him and remind him not to be impulsive." Zheng Shanao couldn't sit still, "Uncle, you guys eat first, I won't accompany you anymore."
"Go." Gong Baosen came back to his senses and nodded to him.
After Zheng Shanao left, Gong Er frowned and said: "This Geng Liangchen... Killing the traitors is a good thing, but killing the traitors made everyone known. With his reputation, he never expected that he would be in trouble today."
?"
"Maybe he didn't want to use this name, but he had to." Gong Baosen said, "Things in this world often have no control over others."
"Dad, how do you think Geng Liangchen will respond?" Gong Er asked.
"Death is the only solution to all the hardships," Gong Baosen said slowly, "I'm also very curious about how he copes with it."
"Aren't you going to test him?" Gong Er looked at his father, "If he really sacrifices his life for justice, wouldn't you feel a pity?"
Gong Baosen was silent for a long time, and then he said quietly: "What a pity. If he really went to die with passion, everyone in the world would feel sorry for his death, and of course I am no exception."
"Then..." Gong Er hesitated, "Aren't you going to do something?"
Gong Baosen said: "I looked at the Kanyu map of Jinmen last night and found a geomantic treasure land in the east of the city. I plan to go over and have a look after breakfast. If it's suitable... I'll bury your senior brother tomorrow.
"
"Isn't it too hasty?" Gong Er asked, "The uncles and brothers in the Northeast don't know that something happened to me yet. Should I inform them to come and express condolences..."
"No need." Gong Baosen interrupted her, "Daughter, do you know why I named your senior brother Ma San?"
Gong Er was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Words must be counted as three, hands must be counted as fists. This is an old saying in the martial arts world. It means that there are capable people behind the capable people, and everything can be done by three points. You gave this name to your senior brother to remind him to
Be humble and be responsible.”
"It's a pity that he has been famous for half his life, and he has earned a lot of fame for our profession. In his half life, he has been nothing short of modesty and duty." Gong Baosen said, "Now that he is dead, let us
He walked quietly, which was the only time in his life that he showed humility. He was not called Ma San in vain."
